Description

Describe the bug

Packaging Sphinx-generated documentation in a way that complies with the Fedora packaging guidelines is very difficult. The main problem appears to be that the generated docs do not include license information, which makes them unredistributable.

How to Reproduce

Try to package Sphinx-generated docs in compliance with Fedora packaging guidelines

Expected behavior

Generated docs include license text wherever that is required.

Review the linked Fedora Bugzilla report for the packaging requirements. Done means generated documentation includes the required license text wherever bundled assets require it.
